A person suffering from a chronic and debilitating disease may use this as a ground to avoid a prison sentence. This is something that is new to many layperson. There was such a case and the judge had to check with the Prison Services to confirm that the prison can accommodate a person with such a condition eg Parkinson's disease. In this particular case, the Prison confirmed that they could take in the convicted person and the judge went ahead with the jail sentence.
What if the Prison Services said they could not accommodate a person with such a disease? Would the convicted person be exempted from imprisonment? Many criminals had spent time in jail for their crimes. Presumably all are fit to be imprisoned. Has there been cases when a convicted person be spared jail sentence because of a disease? There is a law that prevented older people from caning.
I find this line of defence very ingenious. There are many kinds of queer diseases and sicknesses eg fear of height, fear of small place, fear of darkness, fear of stranger, fear of confinement, or conditions when a person could turn violent easily, prone to kill, prone to rape, molest etc etc. Could such conditions be used as a line of defence in court to avoid a jail sentence?
This line of defence is really educational and makes the law very interesting. I am thrilled by the submission. Sure, a person with an infectious disease or deranged would have to be imprisoned in a different way, but still imprisoned, not spared from being jailed. It would be a nice argument to claim a guilty person has a fear of the prison or police uniform to keep him out of the prison. How about an aversion of prison food, would die from not wanting to eat prison food?
What do you think?

Good morning Mr RB and All
Taiwan's ex DPP Presidnet Chen Sui Ban aka Ah Ban aka Ah Bang aka Tua Sian Tao aka Big ConMan aka Americunts Running Skunk with same genes of We Lied We Cheats We Stole We Conned are discharged when his Own Party the DPP took over powers from the KMT.
On the grounds that he is suffering from terminal sickness of BS cancers and etc.
Till now still kicking and even in recent Primary of Taiwan Other STUPID side kicks Whats electoral pectoral mayors and nonsense elections He came out even to rallies to garner supports for their Corrupted DPP party.
Where got cancers and all their Shits. Even his wifey in a wayang wheelchair charged for Corruptions just to get sympathy from the Judges.
Aiya all BS wayang and Charades.
Now even that Hin Leong Boss also head bowed bowed I am Sick you know tried to evade Justice.
All these are the Worse Animals that exists in the Human Animals Kingdom.
Also one time this wayang actor got his Second Term by pretending to be shot at by the KMT.
Own people gazed his body with blanks and the daft Taiwanese got him a second term where he was impeached and sentenced to jail.
Aiyo, First Class Jail Cell. Air cond and Banquets Lunch and Dinner.
All their own Elites will cover their own corrupted ones as they are all involved in their scams and corruptions.
Though Sinkies daft, Taiwnaese more dafter daftest as coined by our ex. NTUC tooth picks pinchers Chief. That's why now they appointed a Neh.
Yes, its true that Sinkieland Courts even granted amnesty to a Singaporean Convict poor soul last few moments for his freedom. Terminal sickness.
That's humanity that's is a good deed.
But many of these Charltans politicians and elites who BS and got special treatments and freedoms are just too much.
Matland lots of these special treatments if you had connections with the Ruling Party of that Day.
Once I ever worked as Ships Broker in a posh Office at Raffles City Westin Luxurious Office with my Broker Manager and a few staff.
This Mohd Ang who is a Mat Chinese is the Boss and had a Filipino GM with his wifey as Secretary.
Wow, two units at Raffles City Westin fully ten inches carpeted.
Also they have a shell BS trading arm with afflilates in HK.
Few staff.Also a Mat Chinkee MD.
Their cons are to import bogus counterfreited goods under brand names from HK and sold to big departmental stores in Sinking Land. You be surprised even Metro.
Sold as genuine goods. Wow how much profits they made.
Actually Sinkies are daft. Branded genuine goods are not sold in kuching kurap departmental shops. Only by their appointed agents.
That's their only conned icings.
The main scam is to charter a run down going to sink ship. That's why they had that Filipino GM to have lobang on these vessels.
Then they will load tons and tons of previous cargoes and in the seas or oceans sank that ship.
Wow insurance claims into millions.
One fine day was arrested and jailed in Matland.
You know he is Mahathir's man and in prison first class suite and can go out anytime to his luxurious home and plant roses in his garden and then back in his Jaguer to the suite cell.
He was been reported and photograph by reporter.
